I met with the first person who is interested in the House of Adoration. We had a two hour talk about God and such. But, she needs to pray as to whether God is calling her to a convent, which is hard, as she is older. I told her to decide on that first before any other option.

Pray for her.

God has put contemplation and Adoration on her heart, which is excellent.

Very beautiful...the choir is superb. This gives glory to God. Sadly, the wearing of leggings to Mass, very immodest, is in Finland as well as in parts of America and Ireland. I wear leggings under a skirt, not just alone....sigh.

One study of 172 al Qaeda terrorists conducted by former CIA case officer Marc Sagemann found that “just under half were professionals; two-thirds were either middle or upper class and had gone to college; indeed, several had doctorates.”

In the case of ISIS terrorists, if its estimated 31,500 members weren’t well off to start, they certainly could be now if ISIS were to divvy up its massive $2 billion and growing wealth–a sum that makes it the world’s richest terrorist group. That works out to $63,492 per ISIS terrorist–an amount well above U.S. median income. As even the U.S. Treasury Department notes, ISIS makes about $1 million a day off just its black market oil sales.

Other ways ISIS makes massive money? “They rob banks. They lay waste to thousands of years of civilization in Iraq and Syria by looting and selling antiquities,” said David Cohen, the Treasury Department official in charge of undermining ISIS finances. “They steal livestock and crops from farmers. And despicably, they sell abducted girls and women as sex slaves.”
